pressing out ball joints...
ok-so i brought the knuckles to work to use the 20-ton press. now i
can't remember which way to press them out. do i press on the shaft
to push them down (the top one into the knuckle, the bottom one out
the bottom) or do i flip the whole thing upside down and press on the
wide part of the joint (bottom one up into the knuckle and top one out
through the top)? i guess i should've brought my fsm... thanks!

The top one has to press down, while the bottom has to press up (both press
to the middle of the knuckle).

I'm mine, both pressed up from the bottom, pushing on the flat part without
the joint.
